Harvest Time!

Living in a city lot we have very limited space for vegetable gardens so each year we try and experiment on our 16'x3' garden plot to see how things will grown. This year we planted Scarlet Runner poles beans, bush beans, tomatoes, chili peppers and pumpkins.

We started the tomatoes and chilli peppers from seed that we purchased from Vesey's Seeds. Although we started the seeds indoors very late in the spring and we transplated when the plants were to small, we still had some success with 4 HUGE tomatoes plants and 2 pepper plants surviving. The tomatoes we picked are called "Juliet" and are like a large grape tomatoe. The peppers are called "Garden Salsa Peppers". The tomatoes taste AMAZING and the peppers are HOT! We BBQ'd some of the peppers and plan on drying and crushing the rest to add in chili and soup over the winter.

Here is a pic of some of the harvested tomatoes and a pepper:



We also planted three pumpkins seeds of the "Little October" variety and ended up with 2 large plants with many little pupkins. More pictures a later....
